[Plugin: WooCommerce – excelling eCommerce] Change order products appear in shop

When you are editing the product, look for “order” under attributed box on the right side. It will have a default value of “0”.
You can set the order of your products by assigning nos in ascending order. The product with value 0 comes first, the one with value 1 comes next and so on…hope this helps.

I have tried this, however my products don’t show up based on that ordering.

I am using WooTheme Inspire.

yep that doesn’t work for me either…I had tried that before nmy initial post

the only thing that works is changing the dates the item is added, which is pretty laborious

If you go into WooCommerce Admin >> Settings >> Catalog >>
When you put the “Default Product Sorting” to default, they will show up in the ranking that you set for each product.

Hope this helps.

Is there any way I can make the order as random. On every refresh of the store page, the order gets changed?

Sorry but where in catalog can you find “Default Product Sorting”???? can not find it anywhere? Crazing me so much. please someone help me

bardwell03 – WooCommerce/Settings/Catalog, it’s the first thing you come to at the top of the page.

Forest Skills:
I am still not seeing the random option in WooCommerce/Settings/Catalog drop down selection item.

sarthaksinghal: There is not a ‘random’ option.

Some options may have moved from version to version; here’s the latest:

WooCommerce Version 1.6.6

In the dashboard, go to: WooCommerce >> Settings >> Catalog
There is an option for ‘Default Product Sorting’ where you can choose ‘Default sorting’ from the drop down.
Then, when you are editing a product, look for:
Product Data >> Advanced >> Menu order.
The product with value 0 comes first, the one with value 1 comes next and so on.

Shoot, on WooCommerce 2.0 the menu order sorting is not working for me. Any thoughts on how to resolve? It’s driving me crazy …

This is ridiculous. Surly someone out there knows how to change the order of a bloody product? Of asked woocommerce direct on twitter and they dont even get back to you. Thinking of moving my website elsewhere. Ridiculous

None of these instructions work for me either. I’m struggling to accept that something so basic and fundamental is so difficult. I’m a brand new wordpress user and an terrified of embarking on the ‘how to add a page’ if how to organise products is so challenging.

1/ Click sort products: https://cl.ly/image/2H1o30100r2K
2/ Drag and drop to reorder products to your hearts content
3/ In catalog options ensure its set to default as default https://cl.ly/image/160G3Y2y1H3r

@mikejolley
Appreciate the new options added. I was really looking at a “Random” option where all the products are auto juggled on every page load. It will lead to a different user experience for each user on the website.

Hope it is considered for the next update.

@sarthaksinghal

You could perhaps adapt https://docs.woothemes.com/document/custom-sorting-options-ascdesc/

Random would need:

$args['orderby'] = 'rand';
				$args['order'] = 'asc';
				$args['meta_key'] = '';
